From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: The /sbin/shutdown command allows shbutdowns after a delay. During the delay period no logins are allowed. However shutdown fails to prevent other connections such as from ftp. (The command ftpshut does this but shutdown doesn't invoke it.) Shutdown should prevent ftp logins too, perhaps all incomming TCP connections should be dis-allowed. Another problem with delayed shutdown is that the warning message issued fails to take into account the time interval used in the "-t seconds" option. For example: # shutdown -t 60 -r +10 will broadcast "System comming down for REBOOT in 10 minutes", when of couse it should be "11 minutes". Not using the "-t" option is not a work-around since a second message at 1 minute left is desirable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./sbin/shutdown -t 60 -r +10 "Test reboot" 2.ftp localhost 3. Actual Results: Time remaining message incorrect, and can still connect with FTP Expected Results: Correct time remaining (perhpas rounded to the nearest minute), and new FTP connections dis-allowed. Additional info:
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response.
Please re-open for current release. I have updared the release number to 9.
Realistically, this isn't something we're going to fix outside of the upstream project - that is hosted at ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/.
Package name is now sysvinit in latest Fedora.
